← GeographyWhich outcome is directly intensified by the Rossby wave effect on continental interiors?
A)Extreme continental temperature annuality✓
B)Latitudinal gradient albedo disruption
C)El Niño-Southern Oscillation strength
D)Polar vortex stratospheric oscillation
💡 Explanation
Rossby waves amplify temperature differences between summer/winter because their patterns steer polar air southward and tropical air northward. This poleward/equatorward steering intensifies seasonal temperature extremes, therefore continental temperature ranges increase annually, rather than affecting oscillation patterns.
